Château Latour--Vintage 1966
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting Notes: The wine of the vintage, the 1966 Latour is a classic, old style Bordeaux that has required decades to become drinkable. A dark, opaque garnet colour is followed by a fabulous nose of cedar, sweet leather, black fruits, prunes, and roasted walnuts, refreshing underlying acidity, sweet but noticeable tannin, and a spicy finish. This powerful, vigorous, immensely impressive, concentrated Latour has reached its plateau of maturity, where it will remain for another 10-20 years. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 129, June 2000
Colour still youthful, rich and deep. Nose is fresh and fragrant, showing cigar smoke and tobacco. On the palate, the magnum was sensationally rich, fresh, complex and long - a great wine. From a magnum at lunch at the Château June 2008 A.H.
